WITH GAIL" PATRICK I CAST A motion picture that has brought forth more superlatives than any oth er film of recent years brings Deanna Durbin to the New Craterian theatre today for a three day engagement In "Mad About Music." The charming IS year old song star, who won overnight fame with her first picture "Three Smart Olrls," yard followed that with last year's "100 Men and a Qlrl," has, through the vital appeal which she radiates, become one of the leading contend ers for fllmdom's top-ranking posi tion. Her pictures are the top pijtures on the studio lot where she works, and are given the best of direction, the finest talent available for sup porting casts, and stories that are especially chosen to maintain the prestige and the vast following she has won In such a short period of time. According to all advance reports, "Mad About Music" Is the finest pic ture this delightful little star has made. It has become a "must see' plc ' ture on the lists of every movie crit ic in the country. For Deanna un spoiled, natural, with a Joy of life that radiates the screen with a bril liance that Is found only In rare In stances has, with her smile and voice and aura, of innocence, found a wel come spot In the hearts of thousands upon thousands of movle-goera. In "Mad About Music," she Is pre Vjented as a student of a girls' school 'in Switzerland. Her mother, played by Gall Patrick, Is a Hollywood movie star who acta glamorous Ingenue roles and oannot acknowledge she Is a widow with a daughter of high school age. All the other girls at the school have noted fathers, so Deanna Invents an explorer dad for herself and telle the girls tall stories about him. Then Herbert Marshall arrives In the Alps, whereupon Deanna adopta him as her daddy and soon has him entangled In her web of fiction, which finally, af ter many adventures, brings every thing to a very satisfactory climax for all. Among the songs Deanna sings during the course of the picture are "Serenade to the Stars," "Chapel Bells," "I Love to Whistle" (done to the music of Cappy Barra's harmon lce swlngsters), and Gounod's "Ave Maria." which she sings with the VI enna Boys' Choir.

OE PLANS, PURPOSES OF AIRMAIL WEEK Principal object of national airmail week May 16 to 31 is to acquaint the public with the benefits of airmail services, especially in the matter of speed and low cost, it wa explained yesterday by Postmaster Prank De soura. "While the domestic rate is only six ccnU per ounce or fraction thereof, the actual cost of sending an airmail letter is merely three cents for the reason that an ordinary letter costs three cents," Mr. DeSouza pointed out. "Tho additional service of trans porting the letter byVrmatl Is there fore only three cents. So fas as for eign service Is concerned, there was recently a reduction in airmail rates. "Matter sent by airmail may be rcg- j lstered. Insured and dispatched C. O. ; D. In order to provide for additional j promptness In delivery, use should be made of special delivery airmail I stamps. Special delivery airmail is de- I llvered as soon as it Is received at , poa to f fires of destination If the ad- 1 dressee resides within the district for j which spec.il delivery service is pro- vlded. Special delivery la especially I desired when the airmail arrives too I lote for regular delivery over the week-end. I "To receive the benefits or airmail service, It Is not necessary to live In cities having airmail ports. Airmail from communities not having com mercial mall plane service Is dis patched by train to the nearest air port city where It enters the regular airmail service.
